/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Started this old lump before Christmas, then ran out of abrasives and polishing compounds halfway through doing it with all the stores closed, so I couldn't get back to it until recently. Pretty happy with it overall, I murdered about 2kg of potatoes and onions with it which took some of the polish off the blade itself as it began to form a patina from the acid, but a good result- holes break the vacuum holding the food to the blade and nothing stuck to it which makes me really happy after ruining 2 shitty drill bits on making them...

Also took the time to do some Engine Turning on the stainless bolsters, something you don't see done very often any more but it has a nice refractive effect.
That took a bit of experimenting to find something that would work, ended up using a modified, mini steel polishing brush (hooray, found a use for the fuckers!) with a sleeve put over it to hold it together a bit better and automotive diamond cutting polish. Stuck it in the drill press and ground away.
